Comx-35

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Comx-35 was a an obscure, and very simple, home computer that was one of the very few systems to use the RCA 1802 microprocessor, the same microprocessor that is also used in some space probes because it is radiation resistant.

It had a keyboard with an integrated joystick instead of cursor keys.

Although it came on the market relatively late (1983) for such a simple system, but it was relatively inexpensive and came with a large collection of software.

It was designed by a Dutch company called NOXON AB, and was manufactured in Hong Kong by "COMX World operations limited".
